Oracle - according to rumours we heard last Monday - would ax around 30% of the US sales/consulting organisation. Well, they certainly fired a lot of people Friday, but I don't know how many.
There will, by the way, be other events like that in other countries in this quarter. Perhaps even in the UK, where they recently removed 25% of Consulting in one day. Certainly in Denmark.

Morten, Regrettably my friendly License Management person has apparently left, since e-mail to his account bounces. But, his previous statement was that if the installer does NOT give you an option to install or not install a product, then your free to use it. Given that, I'd say that one is free to use the apache server that they bundle in 9i since there is no option on installing it, it just does it. The Context option is a different animal. The Installer may not let you leave it out, but your not free to use it either since it is listed.Dick Goulet ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Author: Morten Egan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 3/5/2003 12:14 PM hmmm I remember something about licensing with Oracle HTTP Server. AFAIK you are NOT allowed to use it for this kind of appl. I think you need to buy the IAS. Can anyone remember the specifics around this, or am I way off here? /morten Michael Garfield Sorensen wrote:If you don't plan to have many users, I think you could make do with the Oracle HTTP Server (Powered by Apache) that comes bundled with the database from 8.1.6 and onwards. No need to rewrite any code, as it comes with mod_plsql and the PL/SQL Web Toolkit. You could also consider ChangeGroup PL/SQL Server Pages (see http://www.changegroup.biz/da/cgpsp.psp). That would require a rewrite, but it shouldn't be that hard...

Pat. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 10:06 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We are running 9iAS. If I understand this correctly, 9iAS is simply Apache with a PL/SQL module from Oracle. Our management would like to save the Oracle Support dollars for 9iAS, so I am looking into alternatives. We use the PL/SQL web packages, so my options are limited unless we choose to rewrite code. My questions are: 1) Is it possible to add the (or "a") PL/SQL module to Apache without going through Oracle - or does the combination of the two simply give you 9iAS, which is an Oracle product? 2) Any comments or experience with DBPrism (http://www.plenix.com/dbprism/), which is the only possible alternative that I have found so far? I've been trying to read about modowa (http://www.sharemation.com/~dmcmahon/modowa.htm) but the server is down at the moment.
